How can it help me?

A comprehensive physical health check will be carried out by a clinician, offering a safe space for discussions around lifestyle, health and wellbeing concerns. Appointments will be considerably longer than a standard GP appointment slot to enable the time needed to work with you with the goal of keeping the patient safe and healthy.

During a health check patients may be signposted to other primary care or community resources to support your health and wellbeing. Looking after your physical health can help you maintain good mental health.

How can I access it?

These can be booked through contacting your GP. For support with booking, contact Kolsum.jahan@cbplus.org.uk.
